[/IMG]Here is our newest chick. These are fertilized eggs from a flock that was rescued from some property. The images are also the Rooster and Hen from the flock. Trying to figure out if these are Old English Game Hens or if they are Jungle Fowl. Thoughts?
Hello all! I'm from South Texas and new to chicken raising. Got my set up ready recently and had 2 hens (fairly certain Black Sex Links) around a year and a half old that I adopted from a friend who had to move. Both were broody and I knew someone with a large flock who gave me some fertilized...
